FRIDAY PHOTOS

All the blocks are done for the wedding quilt.

Now I start the task of cutting up yardage for sashing. The plan is to make the 20 blocks cover the top of the queen mattress and the arrows will hang down around the edges. That's the plan anyways.
And, I'm still toying with the idea of something between the bottom two arrows.........

These are bits left over from previous arrow blocks made by me or for me. I'm thinking they will make some fun wonky blocks for a small quilt of some sort.

The bride to be and I are making jam this weekend as wedding favours. Things are coming together bit by bit. Now just to get this quilt finished!

WOW!!! Such a stunning quilt. I love the idea of doing preserves for the wedding favours, but I'm biased; we did honey from our hives at our wedding. Oh, and I'm making mustard this weekend for party favours - a party for grown-ups, that is. I imagine children would NOT be impressed with receiving homemade hot mustard in their loot bags! :P

Our son and his wife made jam for their favours too, they looked really sweet sitting on the tables at the reception. My mum and I cross-stitched their initials on fabric tops for the jars, it was a real family effort :)

About Me

First of all I'm a wifey, a mother to 6 grown children, grandma to 4, and owner of Knit2 Yarns in Kamloops, B.C. Knitting has been part of my life since I was eight years old when a teacher taught me how. Quilting is the other hobby that takes my time. I love them both.
